Fished Surrey area in the afternoon. Very slow with hardly any risers. Only a few fish for all the guys for the few hours I was there. Did the commercials scooped up the fish? Lol.

Most of the day yesterday and a couple hours this morning in the langley area, completely skunked. After about 9:30am yesterday stopped seeing fish rising at all and didn't see a single person with a fish on. Lady came through counting fish at the end of the morning today and hadn't come across anyone yet with a fish. Thanks for the scraps DFO.

Might try Chilliwack later today, fingers crossed this run doesn't completely pass me by.

It goes by so fast. My past records show ( for the Vedder area ) maybe 7 days of solid fishing. Then it's over.

This is my first pink run, was not expecting it to drop off SO fast. Nearly a year of salmon fishing with my kids and one chum to show for it. My wife thinks I'm crazy at this point.

Fished Alex Fraser Bridge area today, A few risers out far. Looks like they are running up the river fast They are not meandering close to shore. Hooked one on a long cast and then lost it close to shore.

Mine thinks I'm crazy too. You just have to put some serious time in come fresh water Salmon season. Convince her it's only 2 months and you deserve it !

It would definitely be cheaper than buying tackle that's for sure.

Don’t give up.  The fishing season isn’t over it’s just starting  !!! Keep your lines wet !!! pretty sure the commercial opening cleaned up today’s fish.   Try again in the morning or after work should have a couple days left for pinks if that’s what your going for anyways       I just left Brownsville took the minions to see if anyone was catching anything  was dry.   But still nice in the sun

The Area 29 Test Fishing yesterday and day before really has come down a lot. If they only opened it that day when 1.4 Million fish swam through  ???

Hopefully there is another surge before it closes on Friday.

Messed around annacis today playing with some new lures nothing  was hoping for a dog (chummer). No risers it was kinda scary. Only one sturgeon hooked up by someone else      Anyone one else have any luck   Lower river.     And yes she’s done I know.

Fish from a little past noon till about 6-7pm and only had two hits but one was a long line release and the other was a pike minnow who came off after it popped the surface, seen some good sized springs jumping around and the odd riser but it was all far between.
Looks like the majority of the run has already passed the lowers and should be headed into the smaller systems.

Fraser pinks are done for me, numbers just arent there anymore. Had some success on Saturday morning, then nothing on a few short outings on Sunday morning and Monday night. I am sure the tributaries are loaded.
